Best chef in Italy; Best Restaurant of the country
Modena’s Osteria Francescana has the best chef in Italy. The recently renovated restaurant, holder of three Michelin stars, is the gourmet temple for Massimo Bottura, crowned by food guide Guida Espresso 2013 the best chef in Italy for the second time.
Chef Massimo Bottura, wich signature dishes are focused around deconstruction themes, was awarded for his equilibrium between tradition and modernity, or “tradition juxtaposedwith a dose of irreverance.”
Osteria Francescana was also ranked the fifth best in the world in Restaurant magazine’s World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards.
But it was a wine applauded the most. Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio di Sotto was the top-scoring performer in the influential food guide in Italy. The exclusive wine was given a perfect score of 20 out of 20. Don’t miss also the winery and the extensive water menu at La Pergola Restaurant in Rome or the regional dishes with a contemporary flair at Le Calandre in Rubano, says Guida Espresso 2013.
